Week 10: Infused Classroom: Sketchnoting

Sketchnoting

Sketchnoting, AKA "doodling for learning," is a more modern and effective way for students to take notes. They are able to track their thoughts using illustrations, symbols, and texts. This allows them to deepen their understanding of a concept using visuals.

How it works:

Students must first gather the necessary materials before beginning. Next, students must identify the main topic in which they will be taking notes over. Students must then actively listen to the information, and while listening, they will identify and record ideas and quotes. After identifying the important information, students may add personalized visuals, such as arrows, stars, clouds, etc.

Benefits:

- Increases retention
- Increases focus
- Customized notes

Here is an overview of the Sketchnoting process:

What is Plickers ? Plickers is an effortless and efficient way for educators to collect instant multiple-choice responses from students in real- time. It is a free app that is accessible through IOS and Android.  How does it work? Each student is given a Plickers card that has what looks to be a QR code on it. These cards are numbered according to student, and they display A, B, C, and D multiple choice options on each end of the card. The teacher then accesses the card set on their phone, and it then displays on the board for students to see. After the question is read aloud, students hold up their card with their multiple choice option facing up. The teacher then walks with their phone around the room to scan the card. Student data is then gathered immediately. The correct answer will then display on the board. Only educators are able to see who answered what choice, so that students' answers are essentially anonymous to their classmates. How I currently use Plickers : I currentl...
